Tron64 Custom Nintendo 64
Having a little modjob done on my beloved Nintendo 64 by a guy from Retro Repair Tips on facebook, the same guy who made Nathan J Barnatts GBA in an orginal Gameboy mod. Thought I would share pics of the progress thus far. Would love to hear your guys input.

Re: Tron64
While it looks cool, wouldn't the controller becoming pretty annoying to hold with glow wire?

Re: Tron64
I think emwearz was alluding to the ridge of that flexible lightbar, might get uncomfortable after a while. Does it get warm after playing with a few hours? The mod looks great on the console though, nice job!ninjainspandex wrote:It's really not that bright.emwearz wrote:While it looks cool, wouldn't the controller becoming pretty annoying to hold with glow wire?
Maybe the light bar might be useful countersunk in a Dreamcast controller memory slot to light up the VMU Stats Screen as long as it is away from the hand grips?

Re: Tron64
Id say get a dremel and put the light cable in the countours of the controler. sunken in to not affect comfort so much.
Or get a clearish controler and put it on the inside.

Re: Tron64 Custom Nintendo 64
Not gonna lie....I'm jealous. Tron is one of my all time favorite universes and the Nintendo 64 is one of the few systems I keep out and still use....oh man. Mind asking me how much it cost you? If not...no big deal.
